About The Position

VideoAmp is on a mission to create the best employee and workplace experience where people can bring their whole self to work everyday. We believe that accomplishing something great requires a special group of people who work hard, drive results and have a blast while doing it - people who challenge the status quo and embody our values. People who say “I’ll find a way” instead of saying “it can’t be done.” At VideoAmp, we believe in challenging advertising paradigms to maximize value for clients. We do this by enabling companies to execute on business outcomes across their media investment instead of more traditional media metrics. VideoAmp is the software and data solutions company powering the convergence of linear TV and digital video advertising. Our solutions connect linear TV viewership with addressable data assets to benefit the marketing and media industries. This enables marketers and content owners to holistically plan, transact, and measure deduplicated audiences across digital video, OTT, connected and linear TV advertising. Role & Responsibilities As a data driven company, VideoAmp needs someone who can oversee data governance at the enterprise level, focusing on all of VideoAmp’s data assets (not just personal data). This person would build an enterprise-level governance framework that aligns with relevant regulatory and contractual obligations and work across teams to operationalize data governance. This work could include establishing clear data provenance (documenting data sources, processing steps and ownership to ensure that it is trustworthy and can be used), implementing governance tools and policies, managing the development and deployment of AI, and working with internal and external auditors on reviews. This role would also require the individual to lead data enablement – this work will ultimately allow the company to leverage its data for both product development and AI innovation while mitigating regulatory, contractual and reputational risks. Having this role could help establish VideoAmp as a leader in responsible AI and data governance practice and help develop trust among its customers, as well as investors and regulators. This role would help the company get its data house in order in advance of potential regulatory risks, but as well as in preparation for a move into AI or even a corporate transaction. We are seeking a seasoned Data Governance and AI Strategy Leader to build and execute the company’s data governance and compliance program across all business functions. This role will ensure the organization uses data ethically, securely, and efficiently to enable innovation in adtech and AI.
